Corona De Rosas Lyrics in English Ulices Chaidez

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Corona De Rosas by Ulices Chaidez from Spanish to English.
He left the ranch in search of money
The cows and livestock didn't leave a single peso
Riding on his horse, he thought calmly
He went to the other side and got lost for a long time
His family cried and his mother didn't know
Even where he was or where he would end up
One day he saw a nice and luxurious car at the ranch
At the wheel a kid with very dark windows
In a little shack, he saw a lady sitting
There, poverty was noticeable in her clothes
When a cheerful kid arrived and said very smiling
Ma'am, why are you sad? Don't you see your son came to see you?
He said to lower the gifts for my dear mother
Kill a couple of calves because I want to celebrate
Mother, where is my old man? I want to greet him
He said, over there by the horses
Very close to the corral
And that's how Kevin Ortiz sounds, my buddy Ulices
That's right, buddy Kevin
And straight ahead, old man
The kid ran off, he couldn't hold back his urges
To see that old man, he really missed him
When he arrived at the corral, he couldn't believe such a thing
His old man buried and a crown of roses
His mother told him, "Your father left us
He died at work and was always a worker
He requested his burial here at the ranch
And if his son returned, just to visit him"
The band played loudly for almost a week
And in front of that grave, the sad boy cried
Remembering sadly the old man, they say they've seen him drinking
If they don't see him happy
It's because the old man is always being remembered

SONG MEANING

"Corona De Rosas" is a moving corrido that feels like a mini-movie. We follow a young ranchero who trades his humble life of cattle and hard work for the promise of quick money on “the other side.” He triumphantly returns in a flashy car, loaded with gifts and plans for a grand fiesta, only to discover the heartbreaking cost of his absence: his father has passed away and lies beneath a crown of roses.

Ulices Chaidez paints a vivid picture of ambition, family love, and bittersweet regret. The song celebrates perseverance and success, yet reminds us that no amount of wealth can buy back lost time with the people who matter most. By the final notes, the once-cheerful son is left drinking and mourning at his father’s grave, proving that true riches are measured not in pesos but in shared moments and lasting memories.
